A Stunning Lack of Understanding

You would think after hundreds were killed on March 11, 2004, the Spanish people would be a little more cognicent of who the terrorists of the world really are.

Alas, they aren’t.

In fact, in Catalan, they’re just downright lost:

Translated from Catalan:

“Bush, Aznar, Sharon, Berlusconi, you facists are the terrorists”

Very nice. Keep thinking like that, [...]

Kerry Press Release or AP Story: You decide

How cool is this! Just when I thought coincidences couldn’t happen anymore, one does!

Yesterday, in an email to supporters and a press release to major news organizations, the Kerry Campaign jumped all over the President for mischaracterizing his words with regards to Iraq, a claim he frequently makes in his various debates with himself. [...]

Kerry calls Allawi “Unrealistic”

Yahoo! News – Kerry: Allawi’s Take on Iraq Unrealistic

Wow…

“The prime minister and the president are here obviously to put their best face on the policy, but the fact is that the CIA (news – web sites) estimates, the reporting, the ground operations and the troops all tell a different story,” Kerry said.

Wait a minute… [...]

Kerry: Draft Likely to Return Under Bush

Yahoo! News – Kerry: Draft Likely to Return Under Bush

Only one problem Flipper…

The push to reinstate the draft was started by Charlie Rangel (D – NY) in an effort to send the rich white kids of politicians to Iraq instead of the poor black kids in the projects that make up the bulk of soldiers [...]

Dan Rather Owes Us an Explanation

Dan Rather owes us an explanation. I have an official memo that says he’s a poopy head. It’s from a credible source.

Mr. Rather, you owe us all an explanation.

Yahoo! News – Sharon says Arafat “will get what he deserves”

“Sharon says Arafat “will get what he deserves”

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news – web sites) renewed his threats against arch enemy Yasser Arafat (news – web sites), insisting the Palestinian leader “would get what he deserves” as he recalled the fate [...]

Joe Biden: Flip Flopper

Remember this post?

I loved this quote from Senator Joe Biden (D):

“The guy who is the ultimate flip and flop is this sitting President.”

Today, on Fox News, Joe Biden just accused the President of being stubborn to the point of being dangerous.

Right before my very eyes, Joe Biden flip flopped.

Just another example of how Democrats have [...]

Brilliant; Simply Brilliant

Lance Armstrong has always been one of my heroes. His return to the sport of cycling after a surprising diagnosis of testicular cancer is a story for the ages. From a mediocre cyclist as far as world standards go, to a struggling recuperating shell of his former self, to the finely tuned climbing [...]

Anxiety is killer!

So continuing onward with the trend of slowly but surely changing my life, I sold my laptop today.

That’s right, my beautiful Dell Inspiron 300m, which weighs a measly 2.8 pounds and made me the happiest computer user on the planet? It’s gone. I sold it to the owner of my company for a [...]

Whopper O’ the Day

John Kerry:

“I’ve only had one position on Iraq, it’s George W. Bush who’s confused”

Care to put that in writing, Senator?

New Yorker Misquotes Teresa

ThePittsburghChannel.com – News – New Yorker Magazine Quotes Teresa Heinz Kerry Out Of Context

Oh yeah, they are just sloppy all over the place. In a much ballyhooed “scumbag” comment, Teresa has been mercilessly slammed as unladylike left and right.

Unfortunately, she didn’t call anyone a scumbag. Let’s go the videotape, as Warner Wolf would [...]

The Long Road Home

Oh yeah, life can be a real kick in the nuts sometimes.

I usually walk to the 7 train which is five blocks further from my office than the E or V train. I dig the exercise.

Today, I walked to the 7 train, and when I got to the train, there was caution tape around [...]

Better in pairs…

I don’t get to ride much with someone else. It’s a penalty of having a very small circle of friends who care about cycling and live within a distance that would enjoy cycling with me. I’ve been out with my future brother-in-law a few times, and he’s at the point now where he [...]

The stubborn unchanging flip flopper…

Flip:

Dems tug Bush into flip-flop flap (AP)

WASHINGTON – While working relentlessly to portray Democrat John Kerry as a “flip-flopper,” President Bush has his own history of changing his position, from reversals on steel tariffs and nation building to reasons for invading Iraq.

Most recently, Bush did an about-face on whether the proposed new director of national [...]

Read the whole damn thing…

Actually, you really only need to read this part because there is nothing in here that is disputable.

BillOReilly.com: Articles Print – Say It Ain’t So, Ted Turner

The fact that the media is allowing CNN to get away with this tells you all you need to know about how fair the American press is these days. [...]

Troubling

Yahoo! News – U.S. Servicemen React to Bush Guard Memos

You know, I’ve come to expect nothing from the AP. Keep in mind, however, that doesn’t preclude me from being livid when I read a hit piece disguised as a news article, I still fume.

Take for instance the piece linked above.

628 words.
